OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Good Morning Ladies....OK, I think we should wear our flannel pants with our ribbons to the meet and greet! If we are already at the hotel, then it shall be! In fact my flannel jammie pants with Sponge Bob are Navy with Bob being that yellow/gold! My SR would freak.
I just found myself posting a funny thing on my SR's FB page. 19 days! Woo Hoo!. Can't believe it!

I just notice something, we have the most posts on FB and I think on this site as well. I think that is pretty awesome
I think it would be awesome for you guys to bring your flannels I do not have any, to hot down here. I may pick some up though just in case i am really cold up there. Lets see we have sponge bob, one wears Tinkerbell, the other wears I cant remember but I will get the family guy ones with Stewie. LOL, people would not know what to think.

That would be so funny, everyone in their flannels! Hope the weather is better than now. It's 12 degrees right now here in Dayton. I have no plans today so I may be in the same flannels again! Love Stewie!
Does anyone else switch from N4M to FB throughout their day? I like having an alumni group. Let's just have 1.

I am constantly going back and forth between them whenever I am on the computer. I think one alumni group would be great. Okay...now I really have to get this sorry behind to the gym...later!

Can I vote for a "secret" FB group - one that you can't search for and which our comments are not visable to others? The biggest thing I don't like about this forum or FB is that ANYONE can see what we type. ANYONE can log onto this website and come read our comments. And Facebook is SO dang public.
I'm part of several private/secret FB groups and it's nice to be able to go there and talk without being concerned about who might see the posts.

That would be great. Anywhere. Say where and I am there. We started this journey together, let's keep going!

I also go back and forth all the time between both. Can not help it. I usually go to FB and then here then back then here. LOL

BTW...as far as N4M's goes...we will add "ALUMNI OF" to the name of this group. We do it for every PIR group. But that IS just for this group...I know you are talking about something elase for yourselves.

LOL!!! I think they would all freak! Since I am not staying at that hotel, it could be interesting (and really cold) running around in my flannels with my SR's GF in tow. I am sure she would be up for it (she's that kind of girl...a great sense of humor). Well off to the gym..:-)

Is there a reason why, when this page loads, it has the first comments and not the last? The same with FB. I just want to log in and see the latest conversation, not the first ones. I must say though, ladies, we have gone through this together. It is interesting to see our comments from the beginning.
My 2 cents. Lisa Davis
